humongous spider

I walked into the office the other night and this spider scurried out from underneath some of my papers on the floor! Luckily I didn't scream cause Hudson was sleeping but I ran and got Jamie and made him find it before I would go back into the office (and Jamie doesn't like spiders just as much as me!). It was HUMONGOUS! The picture doesn't do it justice since it's dead and it's legs are all curled up. I couldn't believe how much noise it made scurrying across the papers on the floor -it was that big!

And of course I had several hours of clinic work to do so the whole time I sat at the computer I was sure I could feel spiders crawling up my legs!

Big Baby

Those are Hudson's newest words. Although he seems to have them confused. He says what sounds like "baby" when he means something is big. So it's a little confusing. I think he is actually saying "Big Big" but what you hear sounds like "baby". And he likes to "blubber" a bit as well!

The other day he started saying "Mimi" which is our name for his Great Grandma so I was excited about that one. Till I discovered he is actually saying "ME ME" which means give ME this or help ME or pay attention to ME ME ME. So it can get a little annoying! :)

Playing Catch

He's trying hard to catch the ball but he just can't quite get it. And for some reason he can't do it standing up either! And of course, the tongue has to be out at all times to help him concentrate!

Daddy's little helper

new bedtime routine

When Hudson started walking really well about 2 weeks ago I started noticing that ALL of his books kept getting pulled off the shelf in his room and put in a big pile by his crib every night. I wondered what him and Jamie were doing in there when they were getting ready for bed...One night I walked in and discovered exactly what was going on. And this is what he does EVERY night now - with EVERY book if we let it go on that long.

playing

An afternoon at our house...lots of ball playing involved! We bought him a tball set and he does pretty good with it although the bat is a little heavy for him still but he's getting the hang of it. This afternoon he wanted to play the game where we throw the balls over the couch then I lift him up to look at them - so that's what he is trying to do in a few of these videos. Luckily he seems to have forgotten that game now! :) Enjoy!

Ouch!

No sooner do I post about his first boo-boo and then he gets another one - worse this time. My poor baby!

This one was from falling on the driveway. That slope is hard to handle when you are just learning to walk! He was chasing after a ball and fell. Luckily he hit his knees and hands first so that took some of the brunt of the fall. But his head just kept going down! He didn't cry for long and didn't want to sit and put ice on it. He was right back out there playing more "ba-ball".
